After departing from the northern city of Andport aboard the sailing ship Lucky, a storm at sea wrecks the ship and you drift aimlessly for days, finally washing up on the western shore of an unknown continent you dub "Northland". The people living there take you to the kingdom's capital of Sayhar to meet the Prime Minister, a kind man who befriends you and gives you food, shelter, and access to a library where you can read about the land and its history.

You learn that Northland, an area where magic is not normally practiced, was wracked by a series of conflicts known as the Magic Wars which began 50 years ago when a band of seven powerful magic users known as the Element Lords invaded from the east. After 20 years of battle and bloodshed, one of the Element Lords named Blancos defected to join the Northlands and with his help two of his fellows were slain and the remaining four banished to another dimension, bringing the wars to a close.

The Prime Minister, knowing you're a capable adventurer, now seeks your assistance with a series of sensitive missions, first to locate their absent king, then to infiltrate a neighboring kingdom of goblins, to find the source of recent natural disasters... and ultimately to save the kingdom by preventing the return of the Element Lords.
